    Default One time when i hate a standard diff and wish i had LSD

    Hi all, i was at clients place this afternoon and went to leave and there driveway is on a slope down to the garage, i was parked right infront of the garage and unfortunatly one of my wheels was on the grass and the other on cement and no the car would no reverse! just sit there with one wheel spinning, luckly i was able to grab a branch and shove under the wheel to get out, but i thought gee that's the first time i really wish i had a LSD diff!!!

    Thought id share that one with you.

    heres an old 4WD'ing trick for ya. pull the handbrake on and off repeatedly. the handbrake grabbing the spinning wheel will transfer drive to the other one. trust me u will get the gist of it real quick if u find yourself in that situation again

    the handbrake trick has saved me from getting stuck when im out with the mountain bike a few times. but it doesnt work when one wheel is off the ground and the other is wedged into the guard

    I dont think LSD would even help you then? It's essentially the same as the handbrake trick right? just with an internal clutch system?
